1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

rationaleIt has been proposed that the serotonergic pathway that connects the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) to the dorsal periaqueductal gray (DPAG) is implicated in the regulation of escape, a behavior that has been related to panic.

objectivesWe further evaluated this hypothesis by investigating whether intra-DRN injection of the 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist WAY-100635 changes the escape response of rats submitted to the elevated T-maze. This test also measures inhibitory avoidance, which has been associated with generalized anxiety disorder. We also investigated whether the 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A) receptors in the DPAG mediate the behavioral consequences induced by the injection of WAY-100635 into the DRN.

resultsIntra-DRN injection of WAY-100635 facilitated inhibitory avoidance, while impairing escape. The same effect was obtained after intra-DRN injection of the glutamate receptor agonist kainic acid. Preadministration of WAY-100635 into the DPAG counteracted the effect induced by intra-DRN injection of WAY-100635 and of kainic acid on escape, but not on inhibitory avoidance. Preadministration of the preferential 5-HT(2A) receptor antagonist ketanserin into the DPAG abolished the effects of intra-DRN injection of WAY-100635 on both elevated T-maze tasks.

conclusionThe results are indicative that 5-HT(1A) autoreceptors in the DRN are under tonic inhibitory influence by endogenous 5-HT. The effects of 5-HT release in the DPAG after intra-DRN injection of WAY-100635 and kainic acid on inhibitory avoidance and escape involve different 5-HT receptor subtypes. Whereas 5-HT(2A) receptors in the DPAG seem to mediate the effect of 5-HT on both behaviors, 5-HT(1A) receptors are only involved in the regulation of escape.
